The graph shows the distance a car traveled, y, in x hours: A coordinate plane graph is shown. The x-axis is labeled time in hours ,and the y-axis is labeled distance in miles. The line passes through the points 2 comma 60, and 4 comma 120.
What is the rise-over-run value for the relationship represented in the graph? (4 points)

a
20

b
30

c
1 over 20

d
1 over 30

since your problem is x^4 = 81, what you have to undeo is the "to the fourth power" part.

the inverse (opposite operation) of "to the fourth power" is "to the fourth root".

  (x^4) ^ ¼   = 81 ^ ¼  

  81 = 3^4     so (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ 1   = 3

by hand: (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ (4 x ¼) = 3 ^ 1   = 3   (when you take a power to a power, multiply the exponents.)

or, do it by calculator. one way of finding the fourth root is to use ^ (1/4)
